Facing the Inferno, The Wildfire Photography of Kari Greer
Wildfires are relatively brief periods of extreme intensity. Their impact can have devastating, as well as regenerative effects. Whether it is the fire themselves, or mudslides and flashfloods, or issues with preparedness from the government shutdown, wildfires are occupying an increasingly important place in our national dialog. "Facing the Inferno" provides the perfect forum around which to structure campus or community discussions. The emotive power of the imagery is balanced with basic factual information about wildfires. The exhibit gives great entre into one of the most immediate and hard to deny repercussions of global warming.
In 2015 and again in 2018, more than 10 million acres burned in the U.S. The increasing length and severity of fire seasons makes this project timely and important. Scientists comprehend what it means to live in a fire environment, including when to suppress, contain or let fires burn. The goal of this project is to help propel greater public conversation and understanding of this volatile dynamic.
